駐平壤記者——趙曙光就羅德曼來訪細節與我們進行了分享。
"This is Rodman's fourth trip to the DPRK, where he and his team of former NBA stars are expected to play several basketball games to mark Kim Jong Un's birthday, which is believed to fall on Wednesday. Rodman is calling it "basketball diplomacy." He has brought a dozen former NBA players including Vin Baker and Cliff Robinson. Although Rodman said he will not interfere in the country's politics, he told a press that his visit is aimed at helping develop ties between the US and the DPRK. On previous visits, Rodman was seen dinning and attending a local basketball game with Kim Jong Un, with whom he says he has a genuine friendship," said Zhao.
